2013-01-15T06:59:01ZFluxBBhttps://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=155537Same issue here. I experience the same behaviour from kernel version 3.6.8 up to the current one : "3.6.11-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Dec 18 08:57:15 CET 2012 x86_64 GNU/Linux".

Plus: code is running much faster now.]]>https://bbs.archlinux.org/profile.php?id=527512013-01-03T09:47:21Zhttps://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1213221#p1213221Hi!

This happens sporadically but far too often to ignore. When running java (1.7.0_10, x64, standard kernel) I notice full utilization of all cores; and it's kernel time.
